Illumina Human OmniExpress genotyping data from the Cretan Greek isolate collection HELIC MANOLIS

Isolated populations can empower the identification of rare variation associated with complex traits through next generation association studies. Here we have genotyped individuals from a Greek population isolate on the Illumina Human OmniExpress BeadChip array. The HELIC (Hellenic Isolated Cohorts) MANOLIS (Minoan Isolates) collection focuses on Anogia and surrounding Mylopotamos villages. Recruitment of this population-based sample was primarily carried out at the village medical centres. All individuals were older than 17 years and had to have at least one parent from the Mylopotamos area. www.helic.org **The data may not be used for population genetics analyses**
